    x86/spec-ctrl: Rework conditional safety for SPEC_CTRL_ENTRY_*
    
    Right now, we have a mix of safety strategies in different blocks, making 
the
    logic fragile and hard to follow.
    
    Start addressing this by having a safety LFENCE at the end of the blocks,
    which can be patched out if other safety criteria are met.  This will allow 
us
    to simplify the sub-blocks.  For SPEC_CTRL_ENTRY_FROM_IST, simply leave an
    LFENCE unconditionally at the end; the IST path is not a fast-path by any
    stretch of the imagination.
    
    For SPEC_CTRL_ENTRY_FROM_INTR, the existing description was incorrect.  The
    IRET #GP path is non-fatal but can occur with the guest's choice of
    MSR_SPEC_CTRL.  It is safe to skip the flush/barrier-like protections when
    interrupting Xen, but we must run DO_SPEC_CTRL_ENTRY irrespective.
    
    This will skip RSB stuffing which was previously unconditional even when
    interrupting Xen.
    
    AFAICT, this is a missing cleanup from commit 3fffaf9c13e9 ("x86/entry: 
Avoid
    using alternatives in NMI/#MC paths") where we split the IST entry path out 
of
    the main INTR entry path.
